COLUMBIA, S.C. — The final of three inmates who escaped from a South Carolina jail two months ago has been captured, officials said Tuesday morning.
Curtis Green, 20, was arrested early Tuesday, according to Richard Walker, spokesman for the Orangeburg County Sheriff’s Office.
He is believed to have attempted at least one carjacking around 4:30 a.m. Tuesday before he was captured two hours later, Walker said. Additional details about Green’s capture were not immediately available.
Green and two other inmates overpowered and attacked an officer in the Orangeburg County detention center and escaped on May 19. Tyshon Johnson and Christopher Boltin were recaptured less than a week after the escape.
Green was in jail awaiting trail on a murder charge in the March 2015 killing of a man who was leaving for work in the early morning when he was shot, The Times and Democrat reported. The victim’s truck also was stolen.
After Boltin was captured, his father also was taken into custody and faces charges for providing assistance to his son after the escape, authorities said at the time.
